The Conference on Email and Anti-Spam invites the submission of papers
for its first meeting, held in cooperation with AAAI (the American
Association for Artificial Intelligence).  Papers are invited on all
aspects of email and spam, including research papers, industry
reports, and law and policy papers.
        Research: Computer science oriented academic-style research
        Industry: Descriptions of important or innovative products
        Law and Policy: Legal and policy papers

Research papers include experimental or theoretical, academic-style
papers on all aspects of email and spam, including but not limited to:
        Techniques for stopping spam, including
                Machine learning techniques
                Postage techniques (HIPs or computation, 
                      possibly in response to a challenge)
                Disposable email addresses
            Protocols for sender authentication and verification
            Digital signatures
            Proof of group membership
            Role and significance of spam as a malware vector
            Spam traceback
        New features for email systems
                Automatic foldering
                Sorting, clustering, or searching email, 
                      including both machine learning techniques 
                      and user interface research.
                Advanced calendaring and scheduling
                Digital rights management research as applied to email
                Public Key Infrastructure in an email environment

Industry papers describe products or systems (commercial or open
source) and matters of commercial or practical interest.  Papers
claiming excellent results should include good experimental or
theoretical evidence supporting the claims.  Example topics include
        Industry cooperation for stopping spam
        New standards and interoperability 
                For spam
                For calendaring and scheduling
                Public key infrastructure for encryption and identity
                Digital rights management
        New products, especially those with novel features

Legal and policy papers focus on topics such as
        What new laws or social institutions are most appropriate 
                for spam or other email topics
        Legal strategies for stopping spam
        The CAN-SPAM act and potential FTC regulations
        International legal approaches
        What can/should be done about Phisher scams 
            and other email scams
        The economics of spam
        Email and identity: who should control it?
        Email and privacy, email at work.

instant messaging, chat rooms, usenet groups, and mailing lists will
also be given full consideration.
